Money and money unit value measurement. Theory and practice

Abstract

In the paper the concept of money and money unit based on labourism approach has been presented. In this context understanding money as wage receivable and money unit as labour unit enables to search for the value of money and its proper approximation. The main determinant of money value in presented approach is wage productivity understood as the product of sales revenues or GDP to the labour costs. Hence the main goal for economists should be maintaining the steady increase of wage productivity factor both in micro- and macroeconomics. In microeconomic sense this goal is the responsibility of the board of the entity, and in macroeconomic sense – the government, especially ministry of finance. Lack of optimal value and simplicity of the wage productivity factor makes it the ost important and informative economic factor.
